For more than 25 years, Trinidad and Tobago’s own Orange Sky has carved out a space that few Caribbean bands have dared to enter: fusing rock and reggae into a sound that feels both raw and soulful. Led by brothers Nigel Rojas (vocals/guitar) and Nicholas Rojas (bass/vocals), the group has long stood as a cultural ambassador for the islands, representing Caribbean identity on stages across North America, the Caribbean, the U.K., and even India. Now, they’re stepping into a new chapter with their forthcoming single, “Family Love.”
The release signals a musical pivot, one that emphasizes reggae while still keeping the rock roots that earned Orange Sky international recognition. “Family Love” is a song about unity, resilience, and celebrating the ties that hold people together. With lyrics that highlight togetherness and overcoming struggle, the track feels like an anthem tailor- made for today’s world.
Since forming in the late 1990s, Orange Sky has always featured duality the heaviness of rock balanced against the warmth of reggae and calypso. Their 2005 U.S. debut, “Upstairs,” put them on the map, followed by “Dat Iz Voodoo” (2008/09), an album that showcased the band’s ability to seamlessly cross borders both musically and geographically. Their journey has included high-profile tours with guitar legend Yngwie Malmsteen, chart success with a ska-flavored cover of Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf,” and recognition as official “International Ambassadors of Trinidad & Tobago.”
Still, it’s their live reputation that has kept them thriving. Audiences around the world have embraced Orange Sky for their energy, charisma, and authenticity. One story the band often recalls comes from their first U.S. tour, when American rock crowds—unfamiliar with Caribbean accents in heavy music—rose to their feet in ovation. That moment confirmed what Orange Sky has believed since day one: music that comes from the heart transcends labels.
With “Family Love,” Orange Sky hopes to build on that legacy and reach an even broader global audience. The single is part of their plan to embrace a reggae-centered sound while continuing to tour and represent Trinidad and Tobago internationally. For the Rojas brothers, the symbolism of their name still holds true as the orange sky as a bridge between night and day, permanence and peace, heaviness and harmony.
As the band looks ahead to more international performances and reggae-driven releases, “Family Love” stands as both a celebration of their past and a clear marker of their future. Orange Sky is still committed to making music that brings people together.
